Our verdict
Our score for Crickex is 4.2 out of 5, and the brand is marked as not re-verified. We last tried to check it on 21 Oct 2026. We have no regulator actions on record, but we also have almost nothing confirmed: the operator's pages that would show the licence, the offer and the cashier did not open for us.
We tried crickex.com and its Bangladesh promotion and Bengali pages from Germany and from the US. Every attempt ended on a block page or an error, so this page holds only what was on record before January 2026 and the result of that check.
Licence
Crickex's licence is not verified. When we opened crickex.com from Germany on 21 Oct 2026, it redirected to an India-locale block page with no licence text, and the US check returned an HTTP 403 error. No licence issuer, number or licensee appears on any operator page we could reach.
Third-party sites say Crickex is licensed in Curaçao. We could not confirm that claim or any licence number, so we do not repeat one here.
Welcome offer
The welcome offer on our records is a 300 BDT instant bonus for new players. It dates from January 2026 and could not be re-checked, so its qualifying deposit, wagering and eligible games are unconfirmed. Our Crickex bonus page keeps the record of the earlier terms.
Account and payments
No payment method, limit or payout time is confirmed for Crickex. Earlier versions of this review listed bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Upay, local bank transfers and USDT, with BDT limits. None of that has been re-verified since January 2026, because the site's payment pages cannot be opened, and our records show BDT accounts and acceptance of Bangladeshi players as unconfirmed.
Bangladesh Bank has ordered mobile financial services to stop gambling transactions, so wallet transfers to a betting site can get a bKash or Nagad account frozen.
Games and app
Crickex is known mainly for its cricket exchange, and earlier versions of this review also described slots, live dealer tables and crash games. We have not re-checked the game library or the studios since January 2026, so we list no titles here.
We have no record of a Crickex app on Google Play or the App Store. Our Crickex app page covers what we know. Be wary of APK files passed around in chats and social media groups: a fake betting app can steal wallet logins.
Pros
- No regulator actions on our record
- 300 BDT instant bonus on our records (unconfirmed)
Cons
- Site could not be opened at our 21 Oct 2026 check
- Licence not verified: no licence text on any operator page we could reach
- Bangladesh edition and BDT accounts not confirmed
- Payment methods and limits not re-verified since January 2026
Is Crickex legal in Bangladesh?
No. Since 1 July 2026, playing at an online casino or betting exchange and promoting one are criminal offences in Bangladesh under the Gambling Prevention Act 2026. Crickex's unconfirmed offshore licence would not change that.
No: online casinos are illegal in Bangladesh
Bangladesh's Parliament passed the Gambling Prevention Act 2026 on 30 June 2026. It took effect on 1 July 2026 and replaced the colonial-era Public Gambling Act 1867. Unlike the old law, it covers online gambling directly, the promotion of gambling, and the use of VPNs and mirror sites to run or hide it. Using a VPN does not make playing legal. Online gambling carries up to 5 years and/or Tk 1 crore (up to 7 years for online betting; reports differ on whether this covers bettors or operators). What changed on 1 July 2026.
| Offence | Maximum penalty |
|---|---|
| Gambling (offline) | 2 years and/or Tk 2 lakh |
| Online gambling (playing) | 5 years and/or Tk 1 crore |
| Online betting (reports differ on whether this covers bettors or operators) | 7 years and/or Tk 5 crore |
| Running a platform, bookmaking, or using VPNs, proxies or mirror sites to run or hide gambling | 7 years and Tk 5 crore |
| Advertising, sponsorship, affiliate or referral promotion | 3 years and/or Tk 50 lakh |
| Organised gambling or laundering via SIMs, MFS or crypto | 10 years and Tk 5 crore |
- Enforcement is active. Between 1 January and 15 September 2026 the CID reported 115 arrests; in 2026 it has charge-sheeted 88 people and asked BTRC to block 763 gambling sites and apps.
- Payments are monitored. Bangladesh Bank has ordered MFS providers to stop gambling transactions, and the BFIU has frozen tens of thousands of bKash, Nagad and other accounts linked to gambling. The authorities have said they are working on stopping holders of frozen accounts from opening new ones with the same NID.
- Offshore licences do not help. A Curaçao, Anjouan or other foreign licence only lets an operator serve countries where gambling is allowed. It gives no legal protection to players in Bangladesh.
- Crypto is not a workaround. Bangladesh Bank has said dealing in cryptocurrency is illegal (2021), and the 2026 Act makes laundering gambling money through crypto a separate offence.
This is a summary for information, not legal advice. Penalties are as reported by the press; "and/or" means a court can impose prison, a fine or both. Sources: TBS News, The Daily Star, UNB; the Act's text on Bangladesh Laws (in Bengali). Full legal guide.
FAQ
Why could you not check Crickex?
On 21 Oct 2026, crickex.com redirected from Germany to an India-locale block page and returned an error to our US check. The pages that would show its licence, offers and payments did not open.
Is Crickex licensed?
We could not verify any licence. Third-party sites mention Curaçao, but no licence text, number or licensee appears on the operator pages we could reach.
Is the 300 BDT Crickex bonus still offered?
We do not know. The 300 BDT instant bonus is on our records from January 2026, and we could not open the site to confirm it or its terms.
Is Crickex linked to Babu88?
Possibly. Babu88's terms and conditions name www.crickex.com as "our URL" in their intellectual-property clause, which suggests the two sites come from the same white-label family. Babu88 names no licence holder, and Crickex's site could not be opened at our 21 Oct 2026 check, so we could not confirm who runs either. Our Babu88 review has the details.
